Losing data when bouncing deptracker server

[mdere-lightfeatherIO]

So there are times when I bounce the server or do a restart on it in my k8s. My data gets reseted - including my admin credentials. I am using an external postgres RDS database and I confirm there are data in it. What can cause this to happen? This restart cause a temporarily blip to stand up a local H2 database?

I followed this - https://docs.dependencytrack.org/getting-started/database-support/

I'm pulling the config from my k8s Secrets

Values.yaml

# External Database Configuration
database:
  external: true

  secretRef:
    name: drone-dtrack-secrets

    passwordKey: ALPINE_DATABASE_PASSWORD
